I Need Help And Advice by Nobody: 7:31pm On Oct 13, 2014 |
I Am A Computer Science Student. I Finished My National Diploma In Computer Science With Upper Credit. But I Dont Know Programming Which Has Been My Utmost Concern. I Am Not Confident Enough To Go For My Industrial Training (IT) Because I Am Scared To Be Tested Of My Programming Knowledge. With This Reason I Have Not Secured An IT Placement. The Question Is, How Long Will It Take Me To Understand Program And Can One Program/code Without A System? |

It will take u 10Years to master Programming ........... But On a more serious Note , It Depends on Your Determination bro. |
Re: I Need Help And Advice by Nobody: 7:45pm On Oct 13, 2014 |
codemarshal08:isnt Dt Too Much Sir? Well, I Av Determined And Decided To Knw And Master It. Bt I Dnt Av A System Yet And Its Getin Late 4 Me |
Re: I Need Help And Advice by Nobody: 7:48pm On Oct 13, 2014 |
I Only Knw Some Terminologies Of Prgrmin, And Some Syntax Bt Nt In Details |

You Don't Necessary need to Have a Computer. You Can always Hook Up with A Friend/Family member... that has one until you are Able to afford Yours. And For the Years, it all depends on How Hardworking u are. |

kaybiel2u:That's not a limitation at all. Every Professional Programmer was Once a Newbie ! |
Re: I Need Help And Advice by Urine: 8:37pm On Oct 13, 2014 |
kaybiel2u: Why in this world should you be scared? Programming is simple, it just involves "step by step logic". Let's do something simple. Give me a step by step details of how to make eba. I'm waiting... |
Re: I Need Help And Advice by Nobody: 10:23pm On Oct 13, 2014 |
Urine:u Mean Algorithm To Prepare Eba? Wel, Get Pot Get Stove Get Water Get Kerosene Get Garri Pour Kerosen Into D Stove Light D Stove Put Pot On D Stove Pour Water Into D Pot Let D Water Boil Pour D Garri Into Boiled Water Stir The Garri Den Serve. I Wnt To Learn |

codemarshal08:thanks 4 Ur Valuable Advice Sir |
Re: I Need Help And Advice by Urine: 10:28pm On Oct 13, 2014 |
kaybiel2u: We won't call it an algorithm for now, let's say this is our pseudo code. What programming language are you familiar with? Do you know you can whip out some good code/class from this nice pseudo code you just wrote? I'm tired now and a bit sleepy but before tomorrow ends I will write my own eba making steps and develop a simple java class from it. Stay positive! |

kaybiel2u: Don't be afraid, some companies are willing to take you as interns with the hope that you will improve as time goes. Just apply as an Intern trust me. You will only be asked those simple questions you know. |

codemarshal08: Believe me if you don't have a PC of your own, you will get frustrated by the way. |
Re: I Need Help And Advice by Nobody: 9:37am On Oct 14, 2014 |
Urine:ok Sir. Gud Morning Sir! |
Re: I Need Help And Advice by Nobody: 9:39am On Oct 14, 2014 |
Urine:well, I Knw Litu Bit Java Bt Dnt Let Me Say I Knw It Cos I Mite Nt Knw Anytin Wen It Cums To Som Syntax Of It |
Re: I Need Help And Advice by Urine: 2:25pm On Oct 15, 2014 |
kaybiel2u: Hi, I'm soooo sorry, totally forgot about this thread. I will post my pseudo code soon, let's see what you can do with your limited java knowledge. Updated; /* small eba = 2 cups, medium eba = 4 cups, large eba = 8 cups*/ Step 1: Fill up the empty kettle with water Step 2: Boil water Step 3: Ask the eba chef what size of eba he wants to make. Step 4: If eba = small take 2 cups else if eba = medium take 4 cups else if eba = large take 8 cups else no size of eba was chosen Step 5: Make eba. I've really tried to make the process simple and short so you don't get confused, I've also introduced a bit of logic into it, step by step details with a dose of logic is what you need to be a good programmer. Write a simple java class from this pseudo code, it's simple so don't be scared, if the if/else if part scares you, just Google some simple tutorials. |

Urine:pls, let me add u on fb sir so dt i can get it |
Re: I Need Help And Advice by Nobody: 4:08pm On Oct 15, 2014 |
u wil b a lot of help to me sir. infakt, i undastnd dt pseudo code, bt i wl try dt of java, bt sir cn u teach me java sir |
Re: I Need Help And Advice by Urine: 5:39pm On Oct 15, 2014 |
kaybiel2u: Drop your email. I will love to teach you but finding time will be a problem. The best thing to do now is to download a book and start studying, when you're stuck I will step in and help. Download Java how to program 9th edition by deitel&deitel. |
Re: I Need Help And Advice by Nobody: 5:57pm On Oct 15, 2014 |
Urine:my email kaybiel4u@gmail.com |
Re: I Need Help And Advice by Slowpois0n: 9:58am On Oct 16, 2014 |
yes yes.. Java. i have been studying this language by myself for few months now. all you need is LOGIC. will be back with the code. |
Re: I Need Help And Advice by Slowpois0n: 10:46am On Oct 16, 2014 |
here is my eba algorithm. //eba algorithm by Slowpois0n starts import java.util.Scanner; public class eba { public static void main(String[]args){ Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in); int smallEba = 2, mediumEba = 4, largeEba = 8; String ebaSize = null; System.out.println("Empty kettle filled with water" ); System.out.println("Boiled water" ); System.out.println("Hey Eba chef, what size of eba would you like to make?" ); int ebachef = input.nextInt(); if (ebachef == smallEba){ System.out.println("Two cups of garri taken\nPreparing eba...." ); ebaSize = "Small Eba"; }else if(ebachef == mediumEba){ System.out.println("Four cups of garri taken\nPreparing eba...." ); ebaSize = "Medium Eba"; }else if(ebachef == largeEba){ System.out.println("Eight cups of garri taken\nPreparing eba...." ); ebaSize = "Large Eba"; }else{ System.out.println("No available size of eba was choosen" ); } System.out.printf("%s is ready!\n", ebaSize); } } //eba algorithm by Slowpois0n ends |
Re: I Need Help And Advice by Urine: 3:36pm On Oct 16, 2014 |
Slowpois0n: Nice try! This is a class, why call it an algorithm? You need to be careful with semantics because you will start attending interviews soon. One question though, why did you use scanner? Do you prefer it to JOptionpane? Also try to comment on each line of your code, you might need to change a line or two. Good job. |
Re: I Need Help And Advice by Nobody: 4:00pm On Oct 16, 2014 |
Urine: Abeg oh! Wetin concern Scanner and JOptionpane? |
Re: I Need Help And Advice by Slowpois0n: 6:09pm On Oct 16, 2014 |
Urine:thanks. very silly of me to have called a class an algorithm, it was a mistake. I didn't use JOptionPane because I didn't think a GUI would be needed. 1 Like |
Re: I Need Help And Advice by Nobody: 6:22pm On Oct 16, 2014 |
Slowpois0n: Bro don't let that guy confuse you. An Algorithm is sequence of task that must be executed to solve a problem. Your Class can be an algorithm and vice versa |

phatjoe50: The guy wey I ask question understand am and he don give me intelligent answer. As for you saying a Java class is an algorithm, I can only smh. Thank God the young man knows better. 1 Like |
Re: I Need Help And Advice by GodMode: 8:37pm On Oct 16, 2014 |
Urine: Every java code must begin with a class. According to wikipedia: "An algorithm is an effective method expressed as a finite list of well-defined instructions for calculating a function." Hope u can see "finite list" above. Every computer code is an algorithm. |
Re: I Need Help And Advice by Urine: 9:12pm On Oct 16, 2014 |
GodMode: To be honest mate the last thing I want to do is argue with anyone on this man's thread. He asked a question and I stepped in to help and I'm glad he's more positive about his chances of being a good programmer. I also think that you should know it's an abomination to use Wikipedia to back up academic arguments. Please click on this link to get a better understanding of this issue. Pay close attention to the second paragraph. http://www.ehow.com/info_10060065_difference-between-algorithms-pseudocode-programming-languages.html 1 Like |

Urine: I don't argue with people I give them answers with proof. I showed u the "english" explanation of algorithm. Even the site u put said the same thing: "An algorithm is simply a series of steps you follow when solving a problem. You list the steps in the order they should be performed." Note: I said "Hope u can see "finite list" above. Every computer code is an algorithm." Wikipedia is one of the best sources of info.. Just because someone wrote some stuff about it means nothing |
Re: I Need Help And Advice by Nobody: 9:42pm On Oct 16, 2014 |
Urine: All this non-computer science students/graduate be arguing trash. if u were a computer science student/graduate, pls go back to your books bro. |
Re: I Need Help And Advice by Nobody: 9:51pm On Oct 16, 2014 |
Don't like sharing code, but the code below is an example of a Sort ........... (Fill in the answer).
It will simply sort the string in Alphabetical order. Dude go back to your books, my advice to u bro. |
